I wish my mom were alive so she could send me any kind of e-mail message. Suck it, Cosmo.

I sent my mother this book when it came out plus a card for UK mother's day (because I was in the UK) and she's still trying to guilt trip me for not driving the 300 miles to her house today.

I got my mom this book for Mother's day. She's going to loooove it. She has recently mastered text messaging, and I keep thinking I need to send in one of her weird messages.

Following on from the photo thread in the last Mother's Day post - does anyone want to post a recent email from their momma? I'm just looking through mine for a good one.

I can't believe Cosmo would regurgitate old ideas. They're usually so original.

@undomesticgoddess responds well to temptation: Gasp! Surely you jest. There's no way those top notch writers could create fake mom emails that were anything less than perfection.

I went to Fry's Electronics the other day.

A middle-aged woman was playing a rather serious game of Solitaire on a demo notebook (Sony VAIO ~$1800, 17-inch screen).

At least she knew what she was buying the computer for.

I love my parents and feel protective of them as they age, but I don't feel any need to "protect" them from the big, bad internet. I'm sure, being in their 60s, having been parents and having had long careers, they have been through things I can only imagine.

HEY NOW. I am late to the post, but at almost 47, I do still have a life, you know. As do the old friends from high school/childhood that have found me, my jezzie friends, etc.

I may be old, but I'm not dead or stupid. You younguns better pull your pants up and step off - or you'll get a stern talking to!

My mother can barely type on a computer keyboard much less navigate the interwebz.

My grandfather, on the other hand, if he were still alive, would have been all over this Facebook and Twitter shit. He used to send us goofy email forwards everyday. I think he got a serious kick out of the Internet.

My mom has a FB account, and updates all the time; Jerk'sMom is ironing and watching House. Jerk'sMom is getting dinner ready. Jerk'sMom is tired and going to bed. She also uploaded - and tagged me in - lots of pictures of me in my awkward teenage years.

She also has a blog, which is horribly google-searchable: it comes up if you put our family name in, and she was surprised once when I asked her about something she said on it. Though she's fairly internet literate, she doesn't really GET a lot of computer/internet stuff - like if the computer freezes or is running slowly: 'Oh no! I must have a virus! Jerk, check my computer for spyware! Did you download anything on it? You downloaded a VIRUS!" And she has no clue how to use her new Mac other than the very basic functions.

She reads blogs and watching TV online (illegally, not Hulu, we are in Europe), etc, mostly because I tell her how to do all this stuff. She's actually about as computer literate as my 15 year old sis. Other than the regular 'Mo-o-o-o-om!' moments that I have normally, just now on the internet, I think her being on networking sites and discovering new technology is really great.

Gotta say, I am a Mom on Facebook and I am pretty friggin cool. My kids and all the kids who have crashed/slept/been fed/needed a shoulder to cry on at my house over the last 25+ years all love me and want to be my fb friends. I unfriend them when their posts start getting raunchy with deets that I sooo do not need to hear about. I would unfriend my own kids and family if I thought for one moment I could successfully get away with it...okay not really, but damn that sounded hardass, no?

Mostly I just want friends who do not use fb status as a running play-by-play of their entire frigging day.
